2011 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · WM11 HTU

This 2011 Fiat 500 is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 23 February 2026 at 125,366 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable. The vehicle has a clean record of passes with no recorded defects or advisories across the last four years of testing, suggesting a consistent level of mechanical upkeep. The mileage is typical for a fifteen year old vehicle, averaging roughly 8,358 miles per year. A notable drop in usage occurred between October 2023 and February 2026. The car covered only 7,661 miles over those two years, as evidenced by the increase from 117,705 miles to 125,366 miles. This period of lower activity does not indicate any immediate concern but suggests a change in the owner's driving habits. The absence of recorded advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion is unusual for a vehicle of this age and mileage. While the MOT history is clean, a buyer should still manually inspect the underbody for surface rust and check the condition of the coil springs. The record shows the car failed its tests on 16 October 2023 and 2 November 2024, though the DVSA data provides no specific defect descriptions for these failures. A physical inspection should focus on the drivetrain and consumables that MOT tests often overlook. Given the 125,366 mile odometer reading, the buyer should verify the service history for timing belt and water pump replacements. Checking for oil leaks around the engine bay and verifying the depth of the tyre treads will confirm if the previous owner maintained the car beyond the minimum legal requirements.
